New Delhi: Tommy Hilfiger has a new spring in his step. India, where he dreamt up his clothing empire two decades ago, is helping his company pull through even as sales in the US stagnate.
According to the company, around 20 per cent of sales by 2010 will come from India.
India sales have doubled in the one-and-a-half years that Tommy has been in the country and the brand has nine stand-alone stores here.
It is planning to open another 20-30 stores in the next fifteen to eighteen months, which will cost around a million dollars. The company is aiming a number of smaller cities like Hyderabad, Pune, and Jaipur for the same.
The India success has encouraged Tommy to enter the Middle East market with its first flagship store in Dubai this month.
The company says by 2010, around two-thirds of its sales will come from Asia.
